thank you
thank you for the link...this is the first time, i was aware of this
seems like there have been some little breakthroughs, recently
i wonder if researchers are spending more time on getting an early
diagnosis, or finding better ways to combat cancer, or both

From the news report I saw
From the news report I saw yesterday, there is a shortage due to supply and demand. However, this report said that pharamecutical companies weren't producing as much because they couldn't make enough profit on the older drugs. $$$$$ when lives are at stake!!
